Calling for Papers for the 2012 National Indigenous Health Conference: Many Pathways, One Outcome

HERVEY BAY, AUSTRALIA, January 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) The 2012 National Indigenous Health Conference: Many Pathways, One Outcome is designed to bring together both government and non-government agencies working in the field of Indigenous health. For many years, the provision of Aboriginal health services had been broken and fragmented when it comes to delivery of primary health services. There were government providers and grassroots communities' Aboriginal medical services where in many cases, duplication of services occurred. However over time, service providers have joined forces in not just the physical provision of services but also in such fields as research, health education and even the training of staffs in order to improve Indigenous health, in general.

This gathering will highlight some of the existing indigenous health programs currently implemented in Aboriginal communities and provide a unique opportunity for delegates and speakers to see the power of people networking together in one place, at one time with similar goals and exchange information regarding the successes and challenges that workers involve in implementing Aboriginal health programs faced. Hence, we encourage grassroots communities to participate and present their existing, successful programs during the event. Papers are now being called for with the closing date on February 01, 2012. To further ensure the continuous success of the conference, an Indigenous working group is being established to advise on correct adherence to cultural equilibrium.
